huh, I didn't know that. Guess that is kinda like Fiddycent instead of Fifty-cents, huh?

Am I the only one who wants to see "Queen of the Deep"? I'd say that is a very early example of doom metal. That whole album has loads of diversity. "Rock Bottom" is practically speed metal, "Doctor Doctor" is kind of a bluesy Zeppelinesque song, "Built For Comfort" is, quite obviously, a blues song, and "Queen of the Deep" starts sounding like "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker, and then breaks into a very Sabbath influenced doom metal song. Then, there are a bunch of primarily acoustic songs. The whole album can't really be classified by a single genre, which is one of the things I love about it.

Queen of the Deep has never been one of my favorites. There really is no melody in the vocal part of the song, Moog just kinda shouts out the lyrics. Musically its good. There are just better songs on Phenomenon.

But, here is the song...

I just find these more in tune to the upbeat style of Rock Band:
Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom and Doctor Doctor for me. It's threads like this that keep my faith people still know music. I have really been wondering lately - just look at the recent thread requests.

stuff from the pre shenker era like prince kajuku wouldnt be bad either. Nowadays UFO is playing bars mostly I think an endorcement from rock band would be accepted by them.

Yeah, sad that such a great group, never really made it.

I just realized that you linked to my videos.

Yay! I'm popular! *Pumps fist*

But, really, "Queen of the Deep" is one of my favorites on the album because of the doom metal style it has. Overall, Phenomenon is a really diverse album. You've got "Rock Bottom", straight up metal, "Doctor Doctor", just some good '70s hard rock, some acoustic songs, blues classics ("Built for Comfort"), and other stuff, too.

Michael Schenker is an amazing guitarist and UFO should find their way into Rock Band.

I personally would love to see "Love to Love", "Too Hot to Handle", "Lookin' Out for No.1", and "Doctor, Doctor" ... of course I wouldn't mind some solo Schenker (Michael Schenker Group/McAuley Schenker Group) too.
